In 1855, beloved preacher Charles Spurgeon remarked in a sermon, “If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it.”

Over a 150 years later, his words ring truer than ever. Lies are available at the push of a button, but finding the truth requires an archaeological dig! This week, some deep digging was needed to get to the bottom of three outrageous lies told by the Left.

President Trump’s First 100 Days: Success or Chaos?

Perhaps the biggest lie perpetrated by the Left this week is related to President Trump’s first 100 days in office. An article posted by Reuters titled Trump’s First 100 Days: America First President is Overturning the World Order, reports, “In the chaotic first 100 days since President Donald Trump returned to office, he has waged an often unpredictable campaign that has upended parts of the rules-based world order that Washington helped build from the ashes of World War 2…Trump’s second-term ‘America First’ agenda has alienated friends and emboldened adversaries” through his “erratic policies.”

Critics of President Trump insist they see signs of “democratic backsliding,” during his first 100 days which include “verbal attacks on judges, a pressure campaign against universities, and the transfer of migrants to a notorious El Salvador prison as part of a broader deportation drive.” They also assert that his policies target LGBTQ people and threaten abortion rights.

Shaking Up the World Order

The Left seems to think that upending and overturning the world order, as well as the domestic order, is a bad thing. Additionally, President Trump’s shake-up of government agencies, immigration policies, DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), and Planned Parenthood is labeled as unfair and disastrous. Yet, he was elected by an overwhelming majority of Americans because he promised to do the very things the Left is criticizing him for.

The Left points to the severity of tariffs, the targeting of the media, mass deportation policies, the restructuring of the global system (especially in relation to Ukraine, China, Iran, Israel, Canada and the European Union) as proof that President Trump is unfit to lead. But the Trump Administration stresses that Joe Biden’s “feckless leadership” in America and on the world stage, needed to be cleaned up before the nation sank like the Titanic.

In reality, President Trump’s first 100 days should not have been a surprise to anyone. Well-respected historian and biographer Niall Ferguson explains, “By my count, there were 37 short but tightly scripted videos, recorded between December 2022 and December 2023, in which the then-candidate previewed just about every move he has made since his inauguration 100 days ago…One day, historians will refer to this as the most consequential to-do list in American history. And in his first 100 days back to the White House, Donald Trump has crushed that list…At the same time, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has spent a hundred days firing thousands of federal employees, in a purge unlike anything the Beltway has seen in a generation. Anyone who visits the corridors of power these days finds them eerily empty. The Eisenhower Executive Office Building is a ghost town. The National Security Council is a shell.”

One of the top concerns of Americans before the election was the border. President Trump has tackled this issue with smashing success. The Department of Homeland Security proudly states that America now has “the most secure border in American history.” Daily border encounters are down by 93%, encounters with gotaways (the top threat to safety), are down by 95%. Migrant crossings are down by 99.9%.

A video from the White House declares, “President Trump was able to do in 100 days what the Biden Administration couldn’t–or wouldn’t–do in four years.” Border Czar Tom Homan keeps it simple by saying, “Promises made. Promises kept.”

The Left believes that President Trump’s first 100 days are reckless and unpredictable, but the truth is that he didn’t campaign on keeping the status quo. Unlike former President Biden, he didn’t want to “Build Back Better,” but rather tear down what had already been collapsing at break-neck speed.

A Tale of Two Judges

Other lies propagated by the Left this week involve the sagas of  two judges who were arrested in late April. Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan was “arrested on charges of obstruction of justice and concealing Eduardo Flores-Ruiz (an illegal immigrant) from apprehension by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials outside her courtroom.”

New Mexico Judge Juan “Joel” Cano was arrested after allowing Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member, to live in his guesthouse. If that weren’t enough, the judge confessed to smashing Ortega-Lopez’s cellphone with a hammer in order to hide pictures which could tie the alleged gang member to federal gun crimes and gang activity.

The Left is up in arms about the arrests of illegal immigrants, insisting that the rule of law is being threatened as fascism runs rampant. They paint the judges as martyrs who are victims of intimidation. But this is far from the truth and the evidence doesn’t lie.

Attorney General Pam Bondi explains what led to the arrest of Judge Dugan. “The judge learns that ICE was outside to get the guy (illegal immigrant) because he had been deported in 2013, came back to our country, charged with committing these crimes, victim is in court. Judge finds out. She goes out into the hallway–screams at the immigration officer. She’s furious–visibly shaken. Sends them off to talk to the chief judge. She comes back into the courtroom. You’re not going to believe this. She takes the defendant and the defense attorney back to her chambers–takes them out a private exit and tells them to leave, while the state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.”

FBI Director Kash Patel stated that Dugan, “intentionally misdirected” federal agents away from Flores-Ruiz. But that’s not what the Left believes. Wisconsin Democratic Representative Mark Pocan told Axios, “The Trump administration again is breaking norms in how it’s dealing with immigration, the legal system, and normalcy. … This is stuff I expect from Third World countries.” One wonders how many on the Left understand that Flores-Ruiz is “accused of smashing a person’s face 30 times in a dispute about loud music?”

When it comes to the case involving Judge Cano (who recently retired after the arrest of a suspected gang member at his home), the overwhelming evidence clearly points to his guilt, but his confession sealed the deal. The New Mexico Supreme Court has already permanently banned him from ever serving as a judge. In fact, he “can never hold a judicial office again, be a candidate for judicial office, and cannot exercise any judicial authority in the state.”

Attorney Jeff Childers points out in his daily newsletter Coffee and Covid, “The juxtaposition of the two eerily similar cases involving two judges in two different states arrested on the same day paints a picture. It’s a dystopian picture of decentralized, ideological sabotage of immigration enforcement inside the judiciary itself. Judges are no longer passively ignoring federal law through non-cooperation but actively working against it through affirmative criminal acts of their own.”

Left-leaning illegal immigration supporters insist that President Trump’s mass deportations are cruel and “lack due process.” But the truth is that immigration law is being obstructed by activist judges who operate outside the very laws they are supposed to uphold.

State Department Tackles Radical Ideologies

A third lie told by the Left involves an article from the New York Times titled, Rubio Announces Major Cuts at the State Department, Accusing It of ‘Radical’ Ideology. These cuts include numerous bureaus and offices, as well as domestic staff levels, all of which will be reduced dramatically.

The Left is fuming over the new plan for restructuring and revamping. The New York Times reported that President Trump’s overhaul is part of a larger plan “to reduce and reshape the government to a degree unseen in generations.” Many leftists are convinced that this plan will undermine American interests all over the world, dissolve the human rights of LGBTQ persons, and even allow extremism to flourish.

In spite of the rhetoric, Rubio is not backing down because he stresses that the State Department has become “beholden to radical political ideology” and is actively being used as “a platform for left-wing activists to wage vendettas against ‘anti-woke’ leaders in nations such as Poland, Hungary, and Brazil and to transform their hatred of Israel into concrete policies such as arms embargoes.” Rubio adds that the “bureau of population, refugees and migration” has sent millions of taxpayer funds to non-governmental organizations that promote mass migration and undermine our nation’s borders.

The Left cannot fathom that even larger budget cuts are coming in the future and could include the closing of embassies, consulates and various overseas offices. They see it as an attack on protecting human rights and democracy all over the world.

Left-wing news outlet MSNBC writes, “Trump can’t withdraw from engaging with the world and pursue an ‘America First’ policy agenda at the same time. If he wants to pursue U.S. interests across the globe, ensure the country’s economic primacy and reduce the likelihood of global conflicts, then he needs to engage with the world. Diplomatic efforts would be far more ‘efficient’ than trying to achieve the country’s goals using the barrel of a gun.”

The truth is that President Trump and his administration are engaging the world. The Left is just not happy about how it’s being done. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This certainly seems like a fitting quote for the Left, only it’s clear they want the same results. In fact, they want the same broken systems to stay in place so corruption can flourish.

Digging to find the truth is difficult these days, but it’s essential in a world where up is down and down is up. Unfortunately, the left-wing media is none the wiser.

Lord Jesus, we ask that you would give us clear discernment when it comes to the daily political landscape and the overflow of news. In the end, we pray for a government that protects our citizens, laws and sovereignty. Above all, we pray for a government that honors You.

While these aren’t all the lies the Left has told this week, what do you think of these three? How are you praying?
